Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Time quickly came to a day half a year later. At noon that day, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu came to the clinic together.

Both of them were holding children in their arms, but the difference from the past was that Xu Damao was holding his one-month-old son, while Sha Zhu was holding his two grandchildren.

As soon as he entered the door, Sha Zhu started yelling at Li Kangri.

"Master, do you think there is such a thing? Isn't it said that the next generation is close to the next generation? Look at my eldest brother, he has a son and doesn't care about his grandson anymore. It has become my business."

"Really? That's strange, Damao, you..."

"Master, grandsons are relatives, but they are really not as close as sons born in old age. Hahaha, for the time being, I'd better let Xiaoyu and Xiaozhu be given to Shazhuliu! I want to concentrate on raising my son." Xu Damao said happily.

"Xiaoyu and Xiaozhu, did you see that? Grandpa is still the best. Your grandfather forgot about his grandson after he had his uncle. Can we just ignore him in the future?" Sha Zhu asked the two children.

"Don't treat grandpa,"

"Don't treat grandpa,"

"Oh, that's right. Grandpa will make you something delicious later." Sha Zhu said happily.

“Virtue, it’s also the Xu family’s fault to ignore them.” Xu Damao said contemptuously.

"Okay, you two, I haven't seen you for over a month, it feels like you came here just to have a fight?"

"Hehe, Master, it's not me who is making trouble, it's him. I came to you to name my son." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Not up yet?"

"No, I just gave it a nickname. The main name is still empty, and I'm waiting for you to give it one." Xu Damao said with a smile.

"What's your milk name?"

"Golden Bean!" Xu Damao said with a smile, "What do you think, Master? Isn't this a good name? Wealthy."

"It sounds like a name given by a nouveau riche," said Sha Zhu.

"You are an uneducated lousy cook. You know nothing. Your third son's name is the most unsophisticated one! He Tie, He Tie, a pile of scrap iron."

"Come, come and sit down, I'll think of a name for you." Li Kangri greeted.

After sitting down, Li Kangri said, "What do you want, kid?"

"Master, I don't have any requests. My biggest request is not to marry Shazhu. If he gives birth to a daughter, I will suffer a great loss, right?" Xu Damao said angrily. "Although he probably won't be able to have children, it's possible that he might give birth to a goddaughter."

"Da Mao, why do you still remember this? Now you even have a grandson." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Master, I will remember this for the rest of my life. Look at Xiaoyu and Xiaozhu. They are almost exactly like Shazhu," Xu Damao said, looking at his son in his arms. "The eldest and the second son are ruined. This is my hope."

"It would be great to be like me, domineering."

"Still anxious!"

"Hey, you guys are done! Let's pick a name first," Li Kangri said, "If you're worried, just use the name as a pretext. How about Huo? How about Xu Huo?"

"Master, why does this name overshadow Sha Zhu?" Xu Damao asked.

"Xu is at the head, followed by Huo. What is Huo?" Li Kangri explained, "The head is Yu, which is the rain in He Yuzhu. Jia is pronounced as Zhu without a horizontal line, which is the homophonic "zhu". Xu firmly suppresses Zhu with a horizontal line. Do you think it's not acceptable?"

"That's right, that's it," Xu Damao said with a smile, "Xu Huo, that's right, my son will be called Xu Huo from now on."

"Adding a hole is still a lot of fun! I think your son will be Xu Huo, a Hoho man, in the future." Sha Zhu said.

"Hey, Zhuzi, that's good! You can even add words." Li Kangri said with a smile.

"Master, I've been hearing you say this every day and I'm starting to feel a bit of the stink too." Sha Zhu said cheerfully.

"Virtue, I have money, I am happy to support my son no matter how much he spends, as long as he doesn't spend money on your He family."

……

In this way, more than a dozen years passed by, and soon it was New Year's Eve of 2005.

That night, in a large living room in the front yard of No. 95, the three families of Li, He, and Xu gathered together to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

After finishing their meal, the master and his disciples drank tea together.

"Master, I am already 68 years old this year. Look at how much white hair I have grown." Xu Damao said.

"That's right, I'm also seventy years old, look at my hair," Sha Zhu also sighed.

"Isn't it normal to get old?" Li Kangri said, "Compared to others, you look much younger."

"Master, I don't want to compete with others, I just want to compete with you. Look at you, how come you still look the same as you did back then? And Master's Wife, Sicong and Sisi, oh yeah, Master's Wife Tongxin, why are you all so young?" Xu Damao asked, "Do you have any magic medicine?"

"What do you mean?" Li Kangri asked.

"Hehe, Master, if you have any, can you give me a few, and let me have one too?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

“No, this may be innate!”

"Master, your lie is unacceptable. Sicong and Sisi may be born with this, but how is it possible for two mistresses to be born with this? Right?" Xu Damao said cunningly.

"Yes, Master, if there is, right?" Sha Zhu also smiled, "As long as we don't want to leave you."

"No, it might be because your master's wife is with me. If that were true, do you think my grandparents would have died?" Li Kangri said.

"Hey, that's true," Xu Damao said, "but my great grandfather and great grandmother are also very old! And Master, Master, you must have this medicine, right?"

"This is true. If nothing else, it can help you live longer. I'll leave some for you when I leave."

"Leave?" Xu Damao asked anxiously, "Master, where are you going?"

"Yes, Master, where are you going?"

"Go home! Go back to my hometown. I will stay at home in seclusion from now on." Li Kangri said.

Yes, in recent months, Li Kangri had a very obvious feeling that the ancient tomb seemed to be calling him, and he had to go back there to practice.

"You scared me to death. Where did you think you were going?" Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you don't go far away, I can still come find you when the time comes."

"Da Mao, you can't come to find me when I go there. I'm going to meditate in seclusion. If we're destined to be together, we'll see each other later. If not, then this is over." Li Kangri said.

"Ah! Master, is this a farewell forever?" Xu Damao said anxiously.

"Yes, Master, I still want to grow old with you!" Sha Zhu also said.

"Shazhu, what's the point of having white hair? Even if your hair is white, your master is still black!" Xu Damao said.

"Haha, I said the wrong thing. I mainly don't want to leave Master."

"Zhu Zi, Damao, if we are destined to meet, we will meet again! Maybe here, maybe in a dream, maybe..."

……

"Fuck! He who digs up people's ancestral graves will not have a good death. I have to find some help." Li Yaozu whispered and quietly went down the mountain.

"Hey, hey, hey, is that a ghost? I'm calling the police. Someone is digging up my ancestral graves here."
